Default need some help

This could be a Summit, LA-1 or LA-2 design. It's definitely one of the "rockets" from the mid 80s or 90s. You're going to want to keep this baby moving along in the sky because it probably has a higher wing loading than modern pattern planes. These planes like to go fast, with lots of momentum to carry them through maneuvers. Today's upper level pattern schedules require planes with light wing loading and lots of power, as the maneuvers are piled one on top of the other with no real opportunity to get up momentum between them.

This will make a good entry level plane if you plan to compete, and it's a great sport plane. Nothing flies like a pattern plane, including this one.
